Dilleniaceae
Dilleniaceae is a family of flowering plants with 11 genera and about 430 known species. It is known to gardeners for the genus '' Hibbertia'', which contains many commercially valuable garden species. Description and distribution The family is found in the tropics and subtropics plus all of Australia. Most of the members in it are woody plants - lianas or trees such as '' Dillenia'' - but herbaceous species such as ''Hibbertia'' are also present in Dilleniaceae. The leaves of the plants in the family are wide and well-developed, but in certain species of '' Hibbertia'' they are strongly modified. The flowers are mainly showy and colorful with visible reproductive components. Buzz pollination is common in the group. Fruits of some species, such as ''Dillenia indica'' (elephant apple), are edible. Taxonomy and phylogeny left, '' Dillenia suffruticosa'' The position of the family in the phylogenetic tree and its classification among the other eudicots is uncertain. Some studies ...

Dilleniales
The Dilleniales are an order of flowering plants, potentially containing one family, Dilleniaceae. The APG III system of 2009, like the earlier APG II system of 2003, left the Dilleniaceae unplaced as to order, while noting that the name Dilleniales was available. Stevens at the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website has subsequently placed Dilleniaceae in the order Dilleniales. The Cronquist system, of 1981, recognized such an order and placed it in subclass Dilleniidae. It used the following circumscription: *order Dilleniales *: family Dilleniaceae The Takhtajan system of 1969 had the families Dilleniaceae and Crossosomataceae in the order. The APG III system assigned the second of these families, the Paeoniaceae, to the order Saxifragales Saxifragales is an order (biology), order of flowering plants in the Superrosids, superrosid clade of the eudicots. It contains 15 Families (biology), families and around 100 genera, with nearly 2,500 species. Well-known and economica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Davilla (plant)
''Davilla'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Dilleniaceae. It has around 30 neotropical, species and is one of the most diverse genera of lianas, vines, erect or scandent (or climbing) shrubs. Description ''Davilla'' plants are classed as lianas or shrubs, and they are similar in form to that of species in '' Tetracera'' or ''Dillenia'' genus.George Don However, they can be identified from other Dilleniaceae genera plants due to several features; having sepals unequal in size, with the two inner ones larger, becoming crustaceous (having a hard shell) and covering the fruit completely, a paniculate inflorescence and the fruit being a capsule. They are hermaphroditic plants (or bisexual - bearing both male and female reproductive organs). It has leaves which are often scabrous (rough to the touch) and pubescent with simple trichomes (hairs or bristles). The petioles (leaf stalks) are winged to narrowly recurve-winged. The inflorescences panicles are terminal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
